AI Video Production Master

• Multiple video approaches: Stock footage, T2V (Sora-style), I2V, hybrid
• Hybrid local/cloud workflows for cost optimization
• Style and character consistency (LoRA, IPAdapter, prompt discipline)
• Motion graphics and synthetic elements (title cards, data viz, lower thirds)
• Artist commissioning for training datasets
• Cloud GPU orchestration (Vast.ai, RunPod)

When to Use

• Script-to-video production pipelines
• Stock footage assembly (InVideo-style workflows)
• Text-to-video generation (Sora, Runway, Pika, Kling)
• Image-to-video animation (Wan I2V, ComfyUI)
• Cloud GPU orchestration (Vast.ai, RunPod, Lambda)
• Motion graphics generation (title cards, lower thirds, data viz)
• LoRA training for character/style consistency
• Artist commissioning for training datasets
• Cost optimization between local and cloud processing

• Real-time video editing → use DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro
• Video effects/compositing → use After Effects, Fusion
• Audio production/mixing → use

Video Generation Approaches

Stock Footage (Invideo-style) - RECOMMENDED for most content

• Uses curated stock libraries (Pexels, Pixabay, Storyblocks)
• Most professional, reliable results
• Fast turnaround (~30 min for full video)
• Script → AI selects matching clips → voiceover + music

python scripts/stock_video_generator.py --script script.txt --style documentary

Text-to-Video (Sora-style) - For creative/artistic content

• True generative AI (no stock footage)
• Uses: Sora API, Runway Gen-3, Pika, Kling
• Cleaner than I2V (no weird image artifacts)
• Storyboard control for multi-shot narratives

python scripts/t2v_generator.py --prompt "A serene mountain lake at sunset" --provider sora

Image-to-Video (I2V) - For animating specific images

• Animates existing images with subtle motion
• Can look "weird" if source images are AI-generated
• Best with clean, professional source images

python scripts/cloud_i2v_batch.py --images ./keyframes --provider vastai

Hybrid Approach

• Shot 1-3: Stock footage (b-roll, establishing)
• Shot 4-5: T2V (creative transitions)
• Shot 6-10: Stock footage (talking head, outro)

Key Capabilities

1. Cost Optimization

python scripts/cost_calculator.py --shots 10 --duration 5

2. Cloud Batch Processing

python scripts/cloud_i2v_batch.py --images ./keyframes --provider vastai

3. Motion Graphics Generation

python scripts/motion_graphics_generator.py --type title --style deep_glow --title "Your Title"

4. Style Consistency

• LoRA training parameters (rank, alpha, learning rate, steps)
• IPAdapter + FaceID for character consistency
• Prompt discipline and trigger words
• Reference image workflows

5. Artist Commissioning

• Finding artists (ArtStation, Fiverr, Upwork)
• Structuring commission requests
• AI training rights contracts
• Quality control and review processes
